Crock Pot Pulled Pork
Description
Crock Pot Pulled Pork uses a 2.5-pound boneless pork loin cooked with chopped onions and Dr. Pepper soda in a slow cooker. The baking soda tenderizes the meat while the soda adds a subtle sweetness. The pork cooks on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours until easily shredded. After removing and draining the meat, it’s shredded with forks and returned to the slow cooker.
Barbecue sauce mixed with dark brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and optional Tabasco sauce adds a layered smoky, sweet, and mildly spicy flavor. The pork cooks on low for an additional 30 minutes to meld the sauce. The finished pulled pork is tender, richly spiced, and ready to serve as a filling for sandwiches or alongside favorite sides.
